MASTER

METERINGBus Meters 1-8

Directly above each bus fader is a peak-reading meter displaying the bus output level. Zero (0) on the meter references a level of +4dBu (1.23 volts RMS) at the output jack.

NOTE: If the -10dBV switches are engaged at the Subgroup output jacks, then zero (0) on the meter references a level of –10dBV at those out- puts. Note: When any SOLO switch is engaged, the SUBMASTER meters will be extinguished in order to divert your attention to the SOLO/MAIN meters (discussed below).

MAIN OR SOLO LEVEL Meters

The MAIN OR SOLO LEVEL meters display the L/R Main Mix levels and are similar to the bus meters, with these exceptions:

+22dBu unbalanced. (You don’t want these to ever go on. If they do, try pulling down the L/R master fader a little.)

AUX SENDS

LAYOUT

The six auxiliary send outputs each have a

AND

FUNCTION

master level control. Like any level control, turn-

 

ing the knob turns the volume up or down.

 

However, the gain of the AUX Sends has been

 

optimized at the unity (center detent) setting

 

and should not need adjustment.

 

The output of each bus is available at its AUX

 

Send Out jack in the jack panel above. Addition-

 

ally, AUX Sends 3 & 4 and AUX Sends 5 & 6 are

 

fed as stereo pairs to the two PHONES SOURCE

 

switching matrices, for headphone cueing

 

purposes.

 

•If a SOLO button is depressed, the meters display the output of the soloed signals; if not, the meters show the level of the signal selected by the MONITOR SOURCE switches. In

other words, you are always meter-

ing what you’re listening to. IMPORTANT: When the console is

in SOLO mode,

zero (0) on the

SOLO/MAIN

meters references

the actual internal operating level, or 0dBu (.775v). If you have just one signal in the main L/R path and you SOLO it, the meter level will jump up 4dB. Don’t be alarmed. If you’re mixing on the L/R buses, that’s what you’ll meter. If you’re checking a tape playback, that’s what you’ll meter. When the meters are following the monitors (not in SOLO), zero (0) on the meter references a level of +4dBu (1.23 volts RMS) at the main L/R outputs, just like the submaster meters.

Note: The solo levels displayed on the meters are PRE-solo level, thus giving you an accurate showing of the total level of the soloed signals.This is also the way to set initial console levels. See the discussion of the SOLO function, earlier in this section.

•Additional red LEDs per side at the top of the meter show output clipping at +28dBu balanced,
